Agrochemical spray drift; assessment and mitigation--a review

During application of agrochemicals spray droplets can drift beyond the intended target to non-target receptors, including water, plants and animals. Factors affecting this spray drift include mode of application, droplet size, which can be modified by the nozzle types, formulation adjuvants, wind direction, wind speed, air stability, relative humidity, temperature and height of released spray relative to the crop canopy. The rate of fall of spray droplets depends upon the size of the droplets but is modified by entrainment in a mobile air mass and is also influenced by the rate of evaporation of the liquid constituting the aerosol. The longer the aerosol remains in the air before falling to the ground (or alternatively striking an object above ground) the greater the opportunity for it to be carried away from its intended target. In general, all size classes of droplets are capable of movement off target, but the smallest are likely to move the farthest before depositing on the ground or a non-target receptor. It is not possible to avoid spray drift completely but it can be minimized by using best-management practices. These include using appropriate nozzle types, shields, spray pressure, volumes per area sprayed, tractor speed and only spraying when climatic conditions are suitable. Field layout can also influence spray drift, whilst crop-free and spray-free buffer zones and windbreak crops can also have a mitigating effect. Various models are available to estimate the environmental exposure from spray drift at the time of application.

Optimization of a wet scrubber with electrolyzed water spray—Part I: Ammonia removal

Electrolyzed water (EW) is an effective disinfectant with a wide range of pH. EW in acid range was proved to be an ammonia absorbent which make it valuable for wet scrubbers used in animal feeding operations (AFOs). This study aimed to optimize the design and operating parameters of a wet scrubber with EW spray for ammonia removal, based on the size distribution of droplets, the property of EW and the reduction efficiency of ammonia. The optimized parameters included droplet size, nozzle flow rates, pH and available chlorine concentration (ACC) of EW, nozzle number at single stage, stage number, initial ammonia concentration and air speed in the duct. The ammonia removal efficiency increased with the decrease of droplet size and the increase of flow rate. The pH values of EW showed significant influence on ammonia removal efficiency (P ? 0.05), while ACC of the EW showed no significant influence (P > 0.05). For inlet ammonia concentration of 70 ppm with one and three spray stages, the wet scrubber with EW (pH = 1.35) spray was able to reduce 55.8 ± 4.3 % and 97.2 ± 3.0 % of ammonia, respectively, when the nozzles with 0.9 mm orifice diameter operated at a flow rate of 1.20 L min^-1. Response surface analysis showed that orifice diameter, nozzle flow rate, and their combination were all significant factors impacting ammonia removal efficiency for both pH =1.35 and 5.50 at a 95% confidence level. Optimal ammonia removal efficiency was obtained at orifice diameter 0.9 mm and flow rate 1.20 L min^-1 within the selected range. The results of this study demonstrated that wet scrubber with EW spray could be a very effective and feasible ammonia mitigation technology for animal feeding operation.

Implications: It is difficult to effectively reduce ammonia emitted from the animal feeding operations (AFOs). Both the acidity and disinfection effects of electrolyzed water (EW) make it a potential absorbent used for spray in wet scrubber to reduce the ammonia and microorganisms. Based on some preliminary field test results, lab tests were conducted to optimize the design and operation parameters of a wet scrubber with EW spray to improve the ammonia removal efficiency. A better understanding of the application and influence factors of the wet scrubber with EW spray can contribute to effective mitigation of ammonia emission from animal houses and improve the atmosphere air quality.     

Polymer and invert emulsifying oil effects upon droplet size spectra of sprays

Abstract

A series of wind tunnel atomization studies were carried out to investigate the effects of polymer and invert suspension oil “drift control adjuvants” upon the droplet size distribution spectra produced by nozzles typically used in aerial and ground based spraying of pesticides. A D8–46 disc and core was used as a typical aerial application nozzle, and an 8003 fan nozzle was used for the ground based sprayers simulation. The droplet size spectra were evaluated in a wind tunnel using a Malvern 2600 laser particle size analyzer immediately upon mixing and at 15 minutes after re‐circulation through a pumping system. The addition of the polymer‐based adjuvants significantly increased the droplet size spectra parameters of the spray cloud, but all the polymer products showed signs of breakdown of their molecular arrangements in the liquid medium, as a result of agitation. The invert suspension oil adjuvant did not change the droplet size spectra markedly, nor did it show signs of breakdown of the internal liquid structure after re‐circulation.     

Influence of nozzle type upon the control of the stalkborer using chlorpyrifos and cyfluthrin 1

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted in corn plots during 1988 that were artificially Infested with stalkborers, Papianema nebris (Guenee'). Two atomizers, a flatfan and a flood nozzle chosen for different droplet size distributions were used to apply two insecticides, chlorpyrifos and cyfluthrin at two application rates. Nozzles, insecticides, rates, and associated interactions were evaluated for control of stalkborer in the field. Laboratory studies involved application of insecticides to soil and glass via a spray track for bioassay at field application rates. Image analysis of percent area travelled on water sensitive paper by stalkborers was compared to droplet percent area covered to obtain percent area contacted per insect. Droplet size distributions for each nozzle were obtained using an Aerometrics particle sizing instrument. Significant differences in stalkborer control were attributed to percent area covered by smaller droplets measured by image analysis.     

Spray Charging and Trapping Scrubber for Fugitive Particle Emission Control

The control of fugitive process emissions (FPE) with Spray Charging and Trapping (SCAT) scrubber was evaluated both theoretically and experimentally. The SCAT uses air curtain and/or jets to contain, convey, and divert the FPE into a charged spray scrubber.

Experiments were performed on an 8000 cfm bench-scale spray scrubber to verify the theory and feasibility of collecting fugitive particles with charged water spray. The effects of charge levels on drops and particles, nozzle type, drop size, gas velocity, and liquid/gas ratio on collection efficiency were determined experimentally. The results of the experiments and the comparison between theory and data are presented.

An air curtain was developed for conveying the FPE to the spray scrubber, deflecting the crosswind, and containing hot buoyant plume. The design and air flow field for the air curtain are presented.
